The battle is pitting conservative advisers against moderate Republicans. Both sides are working to take control of the incoming administration by arranging key appointments.

According to sources close to the transition team working in offices at 1717 Pennsylvania Ave., key aides to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are seeking to have Mr. Trump arrange the appointments of moderate Republicans, possibly including some of the more than 100 who signed a letter during the campaign vowing never to work for the New York businessman if he was elected president. Some of the former officials who opposed Mr. Trump are now recanting that involvement in the letter in hopes of getting a job in the new administration.

I would tell these guys to  take a hike.  No one trusts a turn coat.

This is inevitable.

There are some people adroit at this "kicking ass-kissing ass" game, and while it doesn't reflect well upon them, they really don't care.

But one hopes there's going to be as little of it as possible; we're not as good at this [resisting turncoats] as are the Democrats, liberals, and primitives, being more reconciliatory than they are.

I just hope we do not get another Souter;

  Regarded by Republicans as a “home run” nomination to support their ideologies, Justice Souter furthered his status as an enigma and surprised everyone when he served on the Supreme Court of the United States and voted reliably with the court’s liberal members.
